URGENT: CRUICAL CROSSROAD FOR INDIA April 2009
I write this letter with a GREAT SENSE OF URGENCY FOR INDIA’S FUTURE!!! India has begun its national elections, which will run until May 13, 2009. The lines are drawn. Last year the number of Christians martyred in India exceeded any previous year since the formation of the nation in 1947.
The results of the current elections are very clear. If a secular party comes into office religious freedom will prevail and there will be peace for the Christians and Muslims. If the BJP (militant Hindu Party) comes into office once again Christian and Muslim men, women and children are at the risk of being murdered. The violence against them could escalate to proportions never witnessed before.
Indian journalist J Sri Raman is quoted as saying “the elections can unleash winds of change across not only India but South Asia as well”. The situation is also very tense between India and Pakistan. A vote for the BJP could end up sending the two countries to war with each other.
Raman also says, “A vote for Advani (BJP leader) will be one of a religious majority with an agenda of rabid anti minorityism . It will also be a vote for reversal of the peace process and an escalation of the role of militarism in regional relations.”
Sharmila and I are preparing for our upcoming trip to North India from May 21-June 9, 2009. Your prayers are greatly needed. Last year a number of Christians laid down their lives rather than deny Jesus. Some with knives to their throats were told to renounce Jesus, but refused and were hacked to death. Now the believers in India need your prayers as the nation is at a HUGE CROSSROAD. Let the lives of these precious martyrs challenge us in our walk with Christ to give all we have for the sake of His Gospel.
WIDE OPEN DOOR IN NEPAL
Recently I received a phone call from a friend of mine, Sandy Anderson of Build International Ministries, who brought me into Nepal many times in the 1990s and in 2001. He works extensively in Nepal. He said that Nepal is ready for open-air evangelistic campaigns as early as October 2009 (if we could raise enough support for our India campaign and for a Nepal campaign on the same trip). Nepal has gone from being a Hindu Kingdom to now being a secular Republic. 41 members of Nepal’s Parliament are confessing Christians.
The BJP leaders in India are greatly displeased with this turn of events in Nepal as they desire to make India a Hindu Kingdom like Nepal was and could make it quite hard for the little mountain country of Nepal if they come into office. Hindus believe their gods originate from the Himalaya mountains. We are asking for committed believers to seriously pray for this part of the world.
We are leaving in one month to reach out to various areas in Northern India. We are ministering in Delhi the capitol of India May 24, 2009 . From May 26-28, 2009 we are conducting a minister’s conference in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, which is one of the most unreached states in India and currently under BJP control. . We are bringing in leaders from a very remote region of Himachal Pradesh where the Dalai Lama currently resides. From June 1-6, 2009 I am returning to where our ministry in North India began twenty years ago, in Barielly, Uttar Pradesh. We will be conducting a city wide open-air campaign and leadership conference. We are funding and paying for a young missionary, Robert Devens to go in before us to begin lighting the fire with the miracles of Jesus. We support Robert on a monthly basis. God has been doing phenomenal miracles through Robert in his recent travels around north India.
Of the total $14,000 budget for this trip we have raised $6,500 and still have to raise $7,500 before leaving for India. We need your prayers and support to stand with us at this crucial time.
LATEST MINISTRY NEWS HERE IN THE USA
Every need was nicely met for my first album TIME IS SLIPPING. It was released April 3, 2009. This has been in the making for 1½ years. The main purpose of this album is evangelism. For the most part we have been getting great feedback on it. We are getting it into the hands of the unsaved and trust the anointing will draw them to Christ. As far as musical tastes on this album we have 80’s rock, country rock, instrumentals, contemporary praise and worship and a love song. You can order your copy for $15 or 2 for $25, which will include shipping and handling. My book CHRIST-LIKE HUMILITY AND THE COMING MOVE OF GOD is nearing completion. It will be edited shortly and ready for the press.
